About Us

Zero Tolerance is a Scottish charity working to end men’s violence against women by promoting gender equality and challenging attitudes which normalise violence and abuse. We are a values-led organisation and seek to improve the way we integrate feminism, equality, and diversity into our work. We ensure our HR policies and practices reflect our values (including enhanced parental leave, miscarriage and menopause policies and flexible working) and our salary framework is fair and competitive. We are committed to staff learning and development and have a paid reading week for all staff.

Zero Tolerance has a commitment to diversity and challenging all forms of inequality alongside gender inequality. We are open to as many different voices as there are experiences, and to all genders, and particularly welcome applications from Minority Ethnic, LGBT+, disabled, migrant, and other backgrounds currently underrepresented within the women’s sector.

We achieve change in the following ways:

1. Raise public and political awareness of the root cause of VAWG (gender inequality) and call for action.
2. Challenge and support key institutions to embed primary prevention of VAWG in their work.
3. Advance and share the evidence base on preventing VAWG.

What you’ll do

You will lead work to gather and interpret evidence that informs Scotland’s understanding of primary prevention, ensuring that the voices and experiences of marginalised groups shape national conversations and decision-making. This role strengthens our commitment to intersectional and participatory approaches by developing research that reflects the realities of those most affected by men’s violence against women and girls. You will support colleagues across the organisation to embed this learning into our policy, engagement and influencing work, helping to ensure that every part of Zero Tolerance’s activity is grounded in inclusive, meaningful evidence.

What we need

The successful candidate will have experience in a research role, in a paid or voluntary capacity, with knowledge and understanding of violence against women, gender equality and intersectional approaches. You’ll be confident using a range of research methods and able to communicate complex ideas clearly and accessibly.

You will also have:

• Experience using qualitative and quantitative research methods, including feminist, participatory and intersectional approaches
• Ability to analyse research data, identify gaps and produce clear, accessible outputs for different audiences
• Strong organisational and problem-solving skills, managing both reactive and planned work
• Experience building effective relationships and working collaboratively, including with external contractors
• A diplomatic, self-motivated and values-led approach, with willingness to adapt to the needs of a small charity

What do we offer?

• Competitive salary with annual pay progression. We operate a grading structure based on five salary grades. New employees start on point 1 of each salary grade and receive annual increments until the top of the grade is reached. This role is Grade 3, pro rata of £33,537.08 - £ 37,018.66.

• 28 days annual leave plus 10 public holidays (pro-rata) and a flexible working hours policy.
• We actively encourage continuous professional development for all our employees and have implemented a paid reading week and continuous training opportunities for individual learning and whole team development.
